Screenings in Japan after the disaster at Fukushima yielded disturbing results . Nearly 50% of those tested had nodules or cysts on their thyroids which could become cancerous.
And just last year a paper was published in the journal Epidemiology that found “the rate of thyroid cancer in those Fukushima kids was more than 600 per million.” This study utilized “advanced ultrasound devices that can detect tiny growths” which is why their findings are so much higher than previous research.
When it comes to nuclear disasters, life has to go on.
Greenpeace discovered that after 3 decades, and “due to the reduced financial support to deal with the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, control of contaminated foodstuffs is reduced, less money is available to implement protective measures, and less scientific monitoring data are available.”
Locals to the Ukraine are “still coming in daily contact with dangerously high levels of radiation” because of issues such as Russia’s military insurgency which has left the country unable to financially protect itself from the effects of Chernobyl.
The Greenpeace report points out: “This means that the radiation exposure of people still living in the contaminated areas is likely increasing, even though this continuing impact of the disaster goes largely unnoticed. Thousands of children, even those born 30 years after Chernobyl, still have to drink radioactively contaminated milk on a daily basis.”
The report states: “Of the 50 milk samples collected from three villages in the Rivne region [in Ukraine], located approximately 200 km from Chernobyl NPP, all but four contained caesium-137 at levels above the limit value set for consumption by adults in Ukraine, and all were substantially above the lower limit set for children.”
Indeed, the report shows how ceasium-137 can move though the food chain, persist in ecosystems, bury itself into the soil and permeate the atmosphere through forested areas.
Greenpeace has also taken samples from Fukushima and as with Chernobyl, repositories of radioactive contamination that cannot be cleaned up remains which poses “a risk to the population for decades or even centuries to come”.
The non-governmental organization (NGO) said “the Japanese government’s decontamination efforts had so far been inadequate and left the door open to recontamination of areas deemed to have been cleaned.”
